Carpet Beetle Larva

#5518 Hello, I’m finding this critter increasingly inside my house – on walls, ceilings. It moves very little and is about 1/8 in long. Thank you for your help!  Frank.  New Jersey
This is a larva of a carpet beetle (Coleoptera: Dermestidae), likely in the genus Anthrenus (variegated carpet beetle and allies). These can be difficult to control because of their widely varying food preferences. See http://tinyurl.com/yun78p for some control recommendations. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
